Weight calculation of 6061 aluminum round bar

Calculation of weight of aluminum round bar: π R 2 * h × 0.0000027 (3.1415 * square of aluminum rod radius * aluminum rod length * density, radius length in mm).

If the length is short, the cutting loss will increase.

The length and diameter of the incision should have a tolerance of 1-3mm. The length and diameter of the incision should have a tolerance of 1-3mm.

Need to estimate the weight of your order? Use our 6061 aluminum round bar weight calculator to quickly calculate the theoretical weight based on your desired diameter and length.

Note: Actual weight may vary slightly due to cutting loss and dimensional tolerance (±1–3 mm).
